In the 1950’s as technology of manufacturing grew stronger and more developed, Cassina adopted a new approach of commercial manufacturing, they’re even considered pioneers of using new technologies to achieve elite quality along with traditional, skilled crafting. The roots of their philosophy stems from the modernist movement and believing in the values of innovation, culture, and quality, all important to development of current design. This philosophy came across in the many resources invested in research and development of this brand that is considering the #1 leading brand in the design arena.
